On October 13, 2026, TechCrunch reported that Spotify said Siri in iOS 27 can route audio requests to Spotify without users having to say “on Spotify.” The feature is described for iPhone 15 Pro or later with Apple Intelligence enabled, and the United States falls within the reported availability scope outside the European Union. Sarah Perez’s report for TechCrunch says Siri can learn a person’s preferred music app after consistent use and direct requests to Spotify.
What Siri can reportedly send to Spotify
The reported requests go well beyond playing a track. They include albums, podcasts and audiobooks, as well as broader prompts such as workout music. Spotify also described voice requests for personalized recommendations, resuming podcasts, searching a library, using Spotify DJ and creating an AI Prompted Playlist.
Who the reported feature covers
TechCrunch described availability globally outside the European Union. For US users, the stated requirements are an iPhone 15 Pro or later and Apple Intelligence enabled in Settings.
The new routing behavior is described for eligible iPhones. The Verge’s 2023 report covered Spotify playback on HomePod as a separate capability, rather than this iOS 27 feature: The Verge’s report on Siri and Spotify playback on HomePod.
